Found a picture of Aspen, Colorado in winter, presumably around Christmas

Also, Aspen gets 11 feet of snow annually. This will be fun.

I remember some fun times of a freaking ton of snow being dumped in one storm when I lived in South Lake Tahoe. And multiple times we went trick or treating in snow.

Peter's probably going to have to find some snow chains for his car (especially if he wants to take Miyuki to her first hockey game) and either put on some warmer clothes or do up his jacket. Kennedy (if and when I get round to introducing him) will probably end up going on about the NRL snow game. And I'm not sure how Erin's going to take it, seeing as it doesn't really snow that much in New Zealand's North Island (and, when it does, it's usually at higher altitudes).

I know that feeling. Especially if it snows quite badly and, as a result, a 20-25 minute drive home from college ends up lasting a couple of hours.

The I lived at in Colorado was 2 hours West of Colorado Springs and 2 hours south of Aspen in a Town Called Leadville. Yeah those steep and twisty mountain roads are not fun when there is a foot of ice on the roads.

Leadville is really a hour from Aspen when you can take the southern half of CO-82 but the route is closed to October making I-70 to CO-82 the only way to get to Aspen

And strangely flat. It's crazy.

Edit: "Flat" as in a valley at 10,000 feet.

The mountains around leadville soar to like 16000ft and the fact the valley is at 10000 feet is nuts

Tallest mountain in Colorado is at 14,439 feet

It's actually a really weird thing. Colorado has 50 25 mountains between 14,439 feet and 14,000 feet. The tallest is only taller than Mount Rainier, the ONLY mountain in Washington above 14,000 feet, by a mere 27 feet. Also only 5 mountains in the entirety of California go above 14,000, and the tallest is only about 70 feet higher than the tallest in Colorado. And Mount Whitney, in California, is the highest in the lower 48 of the United States. Yet these are all so far apart form each other and are only a few feet apart at most.

That's just the ones they have named and gotten too.

Of course, if you go to Alaska, there is a 20,000 foot one. But even that one only seems to have like 10 at most that are over 15,000. And Hawaii has one at 13,800 then it drops FAST to like an average of 5,000 or less.

So, how would police procedure dictate the handling of a wild teen party? Especially when they run away? This is for the party crash that is probably going to happen once the police catch the race, and I am trying to formulate a proper realistic response.

In my home city, if the teens chuck bottles and stones, the riot helmets and shields come out, like this.

Scatted?

or did you mean that the cops would try to stop as many teens from fleeing as possible?

Meant the teens usually all scatter.

The police would catch the kids they could, but wouldn't worry about the others after the party was broken up, only ones they might really fucos on is the racers
